A landslide believed tied to Friday’s earthquake in La Habra will keep Carbon Canyon Road closed through Wednesday in the Brea area and may close it down next weekend as well.

The road was heavily affected Friday because of the earthquake, officials said, and Caltrans was working on removing parts of the hillside that could cause more slides. Carbon Canyon Road was blocked from Olinda Place southward.

“It sucks,” said Aurelia Santiago, 78, who lives on Olinda. “My wife is sick with cancer and she has to go to the hospital. We usually take this way but now we have to go around the other way, which takes 60 minutes. I don’t know why it’s taking so long. When you have somebody sick, it makes it very hard.”

Multiple motorists stopped to ask about the situation and turned around when they heard the news. Residents said they heard that a geologist will be on site later this week to evaluate the situation.

Other residents are less bothered by the road closure.

“Living on this canyon is a constant challenge,” said Vicki Peters, who typically takes the closed road to her nail salon in Brea. “But it’s canyon living. They’ve got a couple dedicated trucks and the city is looking after our safety to the best extent they can. It’s an inconvenience but they’re really on top of things.”
